The over 1450 newsletters in the Pforzheimer Collection were produced by the newsletter offices of either Sir Joseph Williamson or Edward Coleman in London and sent to subscriber Sir Richard Bulstrode between 1667-1689 while he was stationed in Brussels. These handwritten newsletters represent early correspondence journalism and contain proprietary information for subscribers about proceedings in parliament, activities of the military and royal family, and court gossip that by law could not be printed in public newspapers. In reciprocation, Bulstrode and other subscribers around the English realm and Europe mailed accounts of news and politics from their host regions along with copies of local newspapers back to London.
